What is the Golden Visa property requirement in Dubai?

To qualify for a 10-year Golden Visa through property investment, you need to own property worth at least AED 2 million based on the purchase price on your title deed or Oqood (off-plan registration).

Key rules as of 2026:

• You can combine multiple properties to reach the AED 2M threshold
• Off-plan properties qualify — the 50% payment requirement was removed in February 2026
• Mortgaged properties qualify at full purchase price, regardless of outstanding loan balance
• The visa covers you, your spouse, children, and parents
• No minimum stay requirement — you can live abroad and maintain the visa

Application is through the Dubai Land Department (DLD), processing typically takes 2–4 weeks, and total fees are approximately AED 6,500–7,500.
